I've found a VB script that claims to allow a machine that has ESM and is connected to the domain to change the OOF's. Looking at the script it needs the AD address and other bits. I've check the code and it looks OK. All you need to do is copy the script from the browser, save it to a .txt then change the extension to .vbs after edidting your domain details. I've sent the URL to my net Admin, before doing anything further. I know people can get very twitchy when you start talking about scripts and asking for domain .information The info is here as an FYI, http://searchexchange.techtarget.com/answer/Can-an-admin-create-out-of-offic...

I've saved these. The meeting hasn't taken place yet. I've just gotten a request to set a user's Out Of Office. How our Net Admin normally does this is RDP into Exchange. I don't' currently have any RDP licences for JAWS. Is there another way I can do this from my own computer? I'm trying to find a solution before I speak to my Manager. I'd rather bring him a solution than leave it in his hands to work out. I am being promised as soon as the Net Admin gets back I will be granted Administrator privileges. We do have Spiceworks installed on our servers, and I've found this article on how I can do it through there. http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/1044-modify-outlook-exchange -out-of-office-reply-for-another-user How would the rest of you Sys Admins go about this?
